Extra funding for disadvantaged pupils through the introduction of pupil premium, starting this year

Businesses and parish authorities will start covering some of the cost of processing household waste, previously paid for by the taxpayer

The health charge will raise £15m a year - less than half the £35m previously predicted by ministers - by charging taxpayers up to 0.5% of their income in 2018 and 1% from 2019.

Mr Gorst said the government was asking the public "to put their hands in their pockets" to provide £15m of the £70m that had been invested in health services over the last two financial plans, but said those earning "the very least" would not have to contribute.

"Only 15% of taxpayers pay at the full 20% rate and, therefore, they will be the only ones paying at the full 0.5% [rate] in 2018 and 1% in 2019", he said.

In total 407 States jobs will be cut by 2019, but there will be 304 new positions introduced in health and education.

The new spending plans for 2017 to 2019 will be debated by the States in September.
